Biography

Emeline was born in 1832.

Research

Although FAG states different possible parent names, believe Emeline could be named "Emeline Alpha" or "Alpha Emeline" and daughter of Asa Pratt, b. abt 1798, Plymouth, VT, and Alpha Bartlett, b. abt 1800, VT. Siblings, (other Pratt children born to Asa and Alpha), could be William Bond, b. abt 1824; Ithemar, b. abt 1826, Mary Ann, b. abt 1829.

Research

When Emeline completed her declaration for a widow's pension, 24 Mar 1868, she listed six children, under the age of 16, who were survivors of their father's death. A profile for one of the six has not yet been established: William Bartlett Willard, b 19 Apr 1856. Presently searching for more documentation regarding William.
